“Excellent short break, booked at the last minute.”

Cottage was quirky, views from the very large garden were spectacular. There are some metal steps up from the car parking area but it is worth the climb for the views. Also steps, stairs within the cottage but comfortable and well equipped. The views from the large window in the lounge are just as wonderful and you can also watch the horses being exercised in the horse menage. Owner was quick to reply by phone to a query we had about the shower. There is also plenty of comfortable outside seating/phone dining. Dogs very friendly but it is an idea to keep the gate of the cottage patio closed or they might move in! We had phone signal and broadband (slow as you would expect in this location). in the garden Our little dog was able to wander about in the garden and made friends with the resident dog. An outstanding place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Lots of places to visit within

“This cottage was beautiful with stunning views.”

The patio is a suntrap which we enjoyed every evening. The cottage is very quiet and peaceful. The downside is I had no phone signal at all. My husband had a signal so depends on your provider. Our friend who came with us has an assistance dog and they had full use of the huge garden. A beautiful spot with horses, ponies, chickens, alpacas and not forgetting the donkey to see. The dogs are very friendly and pop by every day to say hello. My husband wanted to kidnap Dexter!! Plenty to see and do in the area.

“The information at the point of booking listed Wifi, however, whilst there was a router there was no wifi signal at all.”

It did say that it was intermittent on the key collection details, but it isn't even intermittent. It was Xmas and I did want to contract my grandchildren on at least Xmas day which I was unable to do. In addition there is only a phone signal part way down the drive. I'm aware that for some this may be an attraction but it should be made clear at the outset. There was a problem with the oven but this was quickly fixed by the owner. However, the radiator wasn't working in the wetroom which resulted in it being unpleasantly cold and the jacuzzi bath didn't work (Minor thing we could live without) but future customers may be looking forward to using it. We do have a small dog ourselves who I always clean up after, but there were several instances of dog mess around the garden and car park area that we had to take care not to step in. Also the directions perhaps need reviewing. There is no turning for Nant Mawr, unless it's the brown quarry sign, the cottage with the green door is rather more yelliow and obscured by a hedge anyway, the cream gates are not obvious and the Coach House signs are obscured by hedges and rather feint. The sign for Chillout self catering is more visible. Although it appears that I'm having a moan, we enjoyed our stay, the location and the views from the cottage were lovely.

“Mrs”

A beautiful cottage, very well equipped with huge comfortable beds. Owners very helpful and friendly but not intrusive.
Views stunning. It was lovely to look out of the huge windows watching the owners horse and animals.
If you want a lovely peaceful break in a fab area go to The Gardners Cottage.
Easy access to Barmouth, Welshpool, Lake Vernwy and lots of other places.

“Absolutely lovely”

My family and I spent 4 lovely weeks here in between house moves. The beautiful surroundings and homely atmosphere really helped us relax during a stressful time. The view from the lounge window and patio area are gorgeous. The owners are friendly and welcoming, our youngest daughter cried when we left as she loved it so much. Many thanks to Dave and Suzanne and of course the boys for a really enjoyable month
